Vino Rosato 2023
Viticulture and Harvest
The 2023 Vino Rosato is our classic rosé, made from the first run juice from our Sangiovese. The vines were fruit thinned prior to versaison (colour development) so as to increase the intensity of fruit flavour. The fruit was machine harvested in early February.
Winemaking
The di Lusso Estate 2023 Vino Rosato was made using the French saigné method, where free run Sangiovese juice was captured at harvest and immediately vinified and bottled.. The juice fermented in steel with an aromatic yeast at a low temperature to preserve ferment characters.
The current wine is our first batch of 2023 Rosato from what was an otustanding season. With rain throughout the year, the vineyard canopy looked lush and happy. The more temperate season produced really top quality fruit and this is reflected in what we think is our best Rosato yet!
Tasting Notes
Vino Rosato is our classic rosé. The current wine is made using 100% Sangiovese with a light rose colour. Light and fresh, with a dry finish, the wine delivers lifted flavours of spicy cherry and strawberry. A great lunch time wine for red meats, especially vitello tonnato. For my taste, the colder, the better, on a hot summers day.
Will cellar for many years, we recently tasted 2006 Rosato, it was really greeat, so this wine will keep well if you have somewhere to keep it out of sight!.
